OP - Did you not understand that cars are depreciating assets before you purchased one? A Tesla is fantastic, but no amount of unicorn magic or fairy dust will ever turn it into an "investment". I just find it hard to believe that you could actually be upset about not being able to sell a car for $5K under the cost of a new car after using it for 2 years and when newer cars have slightly better tech/features. Frankly, if you sell even $8-10K under your original purchase price, you should be ecstatic.

Unhappy with the Resale value for my 2019 Model 3
- Thread starter leeh97

Say what? All used Model 3's for sale are overpriced lol
I check autotrader every single night
Now is a great time to sell your Tesla. Very high demand
Tesla also raised the price of 3 & Y last night by another $500. Raises value of used cars as well
Thread title makes no sense

Some things Elon says is complete crap out of his... this is a prime example of one of those instances.
As others have said, you're asking too much. Tesla is selling this car for only $2k more, direct from them with financing options, reconditioning, and an extended warranty.
www.tesla.com
I saw an article stating that the Model 3 has the best resale value after 3 years of basically any car, with a 90% value retention. Not sure how true that is. Elon's comment about the cars appreciating was specifically about cars with FSD (I believe).

Find new and used Tesla cars. Every new Tesla has a variety of configuration options and all pre-owned Tesla vehicles have passed the highest inspection standards.

plus the newest Model 3 AWD is rated at 350 miles (!) which is a significant jump from a 310 miles rated Model 3 AWD in '19 ... plus heat pump ... plus heated steering wheel ... plus wood trim in doors ... plus the usual fixes over time making the car only better
I would pay $5k more just to get the heated steering wheel. Only thing I wish my 2018 had. Here in Alaska In our other vehicles I use the heated steering wheel all the time, rarely to never use the heated seats.
Sold my 2016 Tacoma last week for $35,500. I paid $32,000 for it brand new 5 years ago. I love that kind of beating.

A new car would also have a heat pump, a couple more years of warranty, and ~ 8,000 miles less on the car. The new car would also not carry any risk that the prior owner damaged or abused the car.
OP's asking price is unreasonable. The Tesla market is fine

And a knowledgeable seller who’ll answer your questions and provide documentation.
On the plus side, the owner probably had a bunch of post-build fixes done after they bought the car.

LR AWD adds value for all buyers
Blue paint adds value for some buyers
acceleration boost isn't likely to get any boost on your resale value even for those that value it.
The only thing my 3 has needed was its HW3 upgrade since purchase. Been steady as a rock otherwise. So, no.
$45,000 for a 2019? A brand new 2021 was only like $47000. (before the price hikes)
